Is that something we can opt out of in settings? Because, tbh, this is something I rarely want to happen, especially on my phone or iPad where I'm typically watching in short bouts, and if I can't set it to not do this, I don't want to update, no matter how many other new bells and whistles there are.

For all of our iOS users out there, we are excited to announce that a new update is available for version 2.40.0!

In fact we're so ecstatic, we've even come up with a little limerick for you all:

An update to the Crunchyroll app:
We killed all the bugs with a *thwap*
We’ve added new features
Like previews for seekers
Rewind and fast forward on tap!

The nitty gritty:

- Image preview while scrubbing to fast forward or rewind
- Next Episodes will now auto play
- Added more video player controls
- Premium Users can choose their Video Quality under settings!
- UI/UX Improvements
- Bug fixes

*Note* We are aware of the issue regarding Chromecast and are working to resolve it. Please send us an email to [email protected] if you are experiencing any problems.

The Crunchyroll app is available in the App store for free, so if you haven't already downloaded it, go check it out!

Happy streaming on the go~!

How about doing this on android as well? And while your at it please include both manga and Drama/anime in one single app , so annoying to have to close one app and open another just to read something or watch something...

Sounds good but I haven't updated from 2.30.1 because I still run iOS 7.1.2 on my old iPad 2. Things on CR have been fine for me. Would it be worth updating? I don't want to run into playback issues with my older hardware.

I have the 1st Mini, which shares the 2's specs, as far as I know, and haven't encountered any playback problems yet. On the other hand, it's running the latest iOS, so that might make a difference. If you're not updating the iOS for other reasons, maybe you'd be better off with the older Crunchyroll (note: I'm no expert; just reporting my impressions). I will say that I haven't found any playback issues on the Mini with any of the streaming sites, even with the latest iOS and up-to-date apps.

One thing I quite like about the new app is the play/pause smack in the middle; it was too small before. The skip, too, is handy for bypassing opening and ending themes.

I haven't had a chance to check out the new app yet, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it has the option to turn subtitles off. That's the number one feature I've wanted on other platforms (iOS, Chromecast, etc.) since the beginning.
